Critical reception

[edit]

The book was positively received by the music press, both when it was originally released and when it was re-released in 2004. It regularly features in shortlists of important books about the history of bass music, including those compiled by Mixmag,[10] Attack Magazine,[11] Identification of Music,[12] and online music blogs like readsnriddims.com.[13]

When talking to UKF music journalist Ben Murphy described All Crews as an 'excellent'[14] guide to Drum and BassBeatportal also referenced All Crews as source material in an online feature about the 'definitive history of Drum and Bass'.[15] Nottingham arts and culture magazine Leftlion, reviewed the 2005 edition and labelled it a 'classic'.[16] In 2013 Romanian music magazine Awkmo published a feature about the prevalence of bootlegged copies in the Romanian Drum and Bass scene in Timișoara.[17]

In 2020, Reverb quoted interviews from All Crews in a feature about the use of samplers in the development of Jungle Drum and Bass from Breakbeat Hardcore[18]

All Crews has also been referenced in multiple other books about DJing, club culture and Jungle Drum and Bass. In Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton's title Last Night a DJ Saved My Life All Crews is quoted extensively in the chapter about Jungle.

Martin James also references All Crews multiple times in his title State of Bass[19], as do Ben Murphy and Carl Loben in their bass music title Renegade Snares.[20]

From the 26th April to the 26th of August 2024 an early edition of All Crews was featured as an artefact in the Beyond The Bassline exhibition at the British Library curated by Aleema Gray and Mykaell Riley.
